What Does My CT Scan Report Indicate?

Treatment is going on correctly.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your uncle's reports and clinical details. He has suffered from a large brain stroke, affecting the left side of brain, due to reduced blood supply there (embolic stroke, due to clot from the heart). The left side of brain controls speech and movements of right arm and leg, so they have got affected. Any improvement would be slow and would take several months.
The medicines to dissolve the clot, such as warfarin or acitrom should be continued with caution, as there is small amount of bleeding too. He is on correct treatment.
Speech therapy and physiotherapy should be continued.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)

There is no urgent treatment available now.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
Unfortunately, there is no urgent treatment available for brain stroke at this stage. Any urgent treatment is useful only within the first four and half hours of paralysis, which is over long time back.
At this stage, there is no medicine available to make the better better/normal. The blood thinners are needed for the clot in the b=heart, which needs to be decided by the cardiologist.
For the neuro problem, treatment is with speech therapy and physiotherapy.
Best wishes,
